I picked up the kilo-size bags from Wu the next day and the package from Armstrong the following day. The package looked the same except for the Osborne and Armstrong seal. I had the overwhelming urge to break the seal in the hope of resolving why me. Salgodo knew I might go to Lietzow and could be killed so why trust me with the package. Unless...Salogodo worked with the Black Hand and knew the Tykhe would be going to Samxor after Lietzow—with or without me. If true, that meant the package had something to do with the Black Hand and possibly the Raiders.

"What do you think, Kraig?" I asked after explaining my logic, or was it paranoia? We sat eating in the galley after I had cleared Samxor space and set a course for Tyrus.

"It's certainly possible. Clyde—" Kraig stopped when I grabbed my tablet and tapped on it three times, entered my password, and tapped on the feet. Sure enough, the bastards had been on the ship while Kraig and I were running errands. Kraig rose when I did and followed me to the missile room where I opened the two missiles using my new access via my tablet. Looking inside, I screamed obscenities in every language I knew—Dream drugs and not in the non-leak containers I used. I closed the missile compartments, retrieved the Sniffer from my room, and returned to the missile room. The Sniffer displayed a trace of Dream drugs that may have been caused by opening the missile's secret compartment.

"They must consider those missile compartments leakage proof," Kraig said. "I don’t imagine they want you caught and the Tykhe taken out of commission.

I could no longer trust anyone. There were other packages in the compartments. Were one or more of them intended for Tashir, Sidon, or Dacca? Was that the reason Wu wanted deliveries to those systems?

"I think the Black Hand is leading me around by the nose," I muttered with my head buried in my arms on the table.

"If not leading you, at least monitoring where you intend to go." Kraig had a faraway look as if in thought. "I too have an overwhelming urge to see what is inside that package from Osborne and Armstrong."
